Detailed description of the invention
As mentioned in background technology part, the size of electronic sensor, form factor, cost andEnergy efficiency is subject to the adverse effect of their dependences to independent current source. To describe now a kind of device andThe method being associated, it can or can not provide the one or more solution in these problemsScheme.
As shown in Figure 1, battery can be modeled as the electromotive force of connecting with interior resistance. The current potential of batteryPoor (V) is relevant with interior resistance (r) to its electromotive force (E) according to following equation:
V=E-Ir equation 1
Wherein I is around the mobile electric current of circuit due to potential difference.
An embodiment of (schematically illustrated in Fig. 2) this device comprises by electrolyte 203The the one 201 and the 2 202 electrode separating, the one 201 and the 2 202 electrode is configured toOne electrode 201 and analyte represent current potential while interaction between the one 201 and the 2 202 electrodePoor (V). The first electrode 201 is configured to make its electricity to lead with electrochemical potentials and depends on existing pointAnalyse the amount of thing. Because the electricity of the first electrode 201 is led the interior resistance that can affect respectively device with electrochemical potentials(r) and electromotive force (E), so the existence meeting strong effect the one 201 and the 2 202 of analytePotential difference (V) between electrode. Like this, the existence of analyte and/or amount can based on device current potentialPoor (V) determines. As shown in Figure 2, this device also comprises the corresponding the one 204 and the 2 205Terminal, described in it is configured to be electrically connected to realize with (discussing in more detail below) reading circuitDetermine.
Because analyte produces the potential difference between the one 201 and the 2 202 electrode, this potential difference continuesAnd be used to sensing analyte, so this device can be counted as self-powered sensor, (or it is at least oneIndividual module). For the method can be worked, the first electrode 201 should comprise a kind of material, itsElectricity is led with electrochemical potentials and is changed with the amount of the analyte existing. But, the electrode material usingType by depend on detected specific analyte (, specific chemistry or living species) and deviceEnvironment for use.
An example is for detection of airborne (existing with gas, liquid and/or vapor form)The graphene oxide of moisture, as humidity sensor. Graphene oxide can be counted as with oneOr the graphite of multiple functional groups is rare, all carboxyls as shown in Figure 3 (C), hydroxyl (B) and/or ringOxygen base (A). By thin graphene oxide film as the battery of anode have according to following equation approximate inResistance (r):
r=r0exp(-H/H0) equation 2
Wherein H is relative humidity, r0And H0To depend on the ad hoc structure of anode and the constant of geometric properties.By change electrode geometric properties and add other materials, the electricity of anode lead can be customized to suitableClose in specific application. For example,, by plated metal net on graphene oxide film, in batteryResistance can be lowered several orders of magnitude, and this is because wire netting is by the discontinuous point in graphene oxide filmBridge joint gets up. Alternatively, the metal of one deck patterning can be deposited on graphene oxide film,Its resistance can design by customizing this metal pattern. In addition, if the electric conductivity of electrode inherentlyLower, can use conducting polymer (for example, polyaniline) to form graphite oxide alkene polymer multipleCondensation material improves its electric conductivity.
The electromotive force of battery depends on the relative aligning (relative of the Fermi energy between anode and negative electrodeAlignment). Show, moisture has impact to the rare electronic structure of the graphite of metallic support,Make the mobile about 100meV of fermi level (electrochemical potentials). Such movement comprises one graphite is rareWhen individual or multiple carboxyls, hydroxyl and/or epoxy radicals, become more serious. Therefore, the electricity of graphene oxideChanging current potential can change tempestuously along with the change of moisture concentration. This can find out in Fig. 4, and it showsGo out under different humidity level the open-circuit voltage of the battery based on graphene oxide is measured. In this exampleIn, battery has the anode, polyester electrolyte and the LiCoO that are coated with graphene oxide2Negative electrode.
Therefore, the output voltage of the battery based on graphene oxide (potential difference) is not with the variation of humidityThe variation of only being led by the electricity of graphene oxide causes, but also by the electrochemical potentials of graphene oxideVariation causes.
The first electrode material and analyte are not confined to respectively graphene oxide and water uniquely. OtherExample comprises: for the 2D Transition-metal dichalcogenide (transitionmetal of sensing triethylamineDichalcogenides) (for example, MoS2); For sensing ammonia and NO2Graphite rare; For sensingThe functionalization graphite of glucose rare (for example, utilize enzyme functionalized graphite rare); For the silver of sensing ammoniaNano particle; And for the porous silicon resin (poroussilicone) of sensing ammonia.
Being used for the existence of Realization analysis thing and/or definite reading circuit of amount can form this deviceA part. In certain embodiments, this reading circuit can be configured to measure potential difference. In Fig. 5, showGo out an example, wherein reading circuit comprises the volt being connected between the one 504 and the 2 505 terminalSpecial meter 506. The device of Fig. 2 is represented as and has variable output voltage and the power supply of interior resistance at this(referring to dotted line frame 521). Reading circuit can also be configured to the poor survey of user's indicating potential to this deviceAmount, makes him/her can detect the existence of analyte and based on this measurement, it is quantized. ForRealize this object, device/reading circuit can comprise that electronic console 507 and/or loudspeaker 508 are to useIn presenting potential difference measurement to user, and can comprise that emitter 509 (or transceiver) is to useIn to another equipment transmitting data. A rear feature makes the user can be from remote location monitoring of environmental.
Device/reading circuit can also comprise the processing that is electrically connected to other assemblies by data/address bus 512Device 510 and storage medium 511. By signaling being provided to other assemblies and receiving letter from other assembliesOrder is to manage their operation, and processor 510 is configured for the general operation of device. Storage is situated betweenMatter 511 is configured to store computer code, and this computer code is configured to carry out, controls or be realThe now operation of device. Storage medium 511 can also be configured to the setting of storage for other assemblies. PlaceReason device 510 can access storage media 511 be fetched assembly setting, to manage the behaviour of other assembliesDo. Processor 510 can be microprocessor, comprises special IC (ASIC). Storage medium511 can be the temporary storage medium such as volatile random access memory. On the other hand,Storage medium 511 can be permanent storage media, such as hard disk drive, flash memories orNonvolatile RAM.
In another embodiment, reading circuit can be configured to determine analyte with potential difference measurementExistence and/or amount, and indicate this result (thering is or do not have potential difference measurement value) to user.Therefore, this embodiment provides final result to user, and derives from primary voltage data without him/herFinal result. In practice, this analysis is carried out in conjunction with storage medium 511 by processor 510. ExampleAs, processor 510 can be configured to receive potential difference measurement from voltmeter 506, and by its with comeFor example, from predetermined calibration data (, the pass of potential difference and analyte concentration of storage medium 511Be the predetermined measured value of curve) compare, to determine existing and/or measuring of analyte.

Like this, the use of deviceFamily can be determined and have how many analytes from the brightness of LED613. But, the unfavorable aspect of this configurationThat user may be difficult to distinguish different brightness and realizes accurate quantification. In addition, in the configuration of Fig. 6,Even in the time that humidity is very low (, " closing " state in the time that the interior resistance installing is higher), LED613Also will continue to draw electric current (although very little), thereby reduce the efficiency of sensor device.
Fig. 7 illustrates another embodiment, and wherein reading circuit is configured to only when potential difference exceedes predetermined thresholdWhen value, generate signal. As described above, this signal is produced in response to potential difference by LED713Light 714, but reading circuit comprises switch Q now1(metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) in this example,Field-effect transistor (MOSFET)), it is configured to triggering signal in the time that predetermined threshold is exceededGeneration. MOSFETQ1To only in the time that being greater than transistorized threshold voltage, open source-drain voltage. SourceDrain voltage V is provided by following formula:
Wherein V+The voltage of the positive terminal 704 of device. This means that LED713 is installing in " closingClose " there is low current when state and draw, and there is sharp ON/OFF response. Because device (comprisesReading circuit) only in the time that analyte exists, be only movable, so thereby its energy efficiency is higher to be causedThe longer life-span. But the significant adverse aspect of this embodiment is this fact, from reading electricityThe output on road be qualitatively instead of quantitative (that is, user can determine whether to exist analyte, butCannot define how many analytes to exist).
